Answer:The isotope is Carbon-12 and its atomic mass is 12.

Explanation:

Mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.

Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.

An isotope of a chemical element is an atom that has a different mass number but the same atomic number as the element. The difference in mass number is from the number of neutrons (that is, a greater or lesser atomic mass) than the standard for that element.

Carbon-12 is an isotope of carbon it has 6 neutrons and 6 protons, giving it a mass number of 12 and atomic number of 6. Carbon-12 is a stable isotope of carbon, it has the same mass number and atomic number as carbon.

When an aqueous solution of magnesium nitrate is mixed with an aqueous solution of potassium carbonate, ____________.?
spin [16.1K]
  <span>Ca(NO3)2 + Na2CO3 = CaCO3 + 2NaNO3 
Yes a precipitate of Calcium Carbonate is formed since it is insoluble in water. 
Mol Wt of Calcium Nitrate is 164. And that of Calcium Carbonate is 100. 
One mole of Calcium Nitrate produces one mole of Calcium Carbonate. 
i.e. 164 gms will produce 100gms of precipitate 
So, 1.74gms of Calcium Carbonate will be obtained from 2.85gms Calcium Nitrate present in the original solution.</span>

How many moles of oxygen are in 52.5 grams of oxygen gas?
adell [148]
An oxygen gas is a diatomic molecule which means that each molecule is composed of 2 atoms. Its symbol is O2. 

Each oxygen atom has a molar mass of 16 g/mol. The molar mass of oxygen gas is calculated below,
                         molar mass = 2 x (16 g/mol) = 32 g/mol

To determine the number of moles in 52.5 grams of oxygen, divide the given mass by the calculated molar mass.
 
                                 n = 52.5 grams / (32 gram/ mol)
                                     n = 1.64 moles

Thus, there are 1.64 moles of oxygen gas.

Identify the intermolecular attractions for dimethyl ether and for ethyl alcohol. Which molecule is expected to be more soluble
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

All molecules possess the London dispersion forces. However London dispersion forces is the only kind of intermolecular interaction that exists in nonpolar substances.

So, the only kind of intermolecular interaction that exists in dimethyl ether is London dispersion forces.

As for ethyl alcohol, the molecule is polar due to the presence of polar O-H bond. In addition to London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions and specifically hydrogen bonding also occurs between the molecules.

Because ethyl alcohol is polar, it is more soluble in water than dimethyl ether.

A generator does work on an electric heater by forcing an electric current through it. Suppose 1 kJ of work is done on the heate
azamat

Answer:

The change in internal energy of the heater is 0 kJ

Explanation:

∆U = Q - W

Q is quantity of heat transferred = 1 kJ

W is work done on the heater = 1 kJ

Change in internal energy (∆U) = 1 - 1 = 0 kJ
